Firebox® X Edge Log Messages
The Firebox ® X Edge sends log messages to an internal event log stored in RAM. You can also send these
messages to a remote log host, such as a WatchGuard Log Server or a syslog server.
Each log message contains the name of the module that generated the message, a timestamp, and the
message text. When shown through the embedded web site event log page, the module name field is
color coded to indicate the message type. The log messages below are shown in alphabetical order by
module type.
